“When
you arrange your living room furniture, think less of symmetry and more of
comfort.” -
Billy Baldwin (Interior Decorator)
When
designing a living room area, many will immediately plan on placing a sofa,
loveseat, coffee table and maybe a few arm chairs
together. However, if you have a larger living room area to furnish, and
need some tips for how to utilize the extra space, we've got a few.
One
thing that may be helpful to consider: symmetry in design is generally visually
appealing to the eyes, however it is not necessarily the only method for
pleasing the senses when it comes to interior design. So we suggest
forgetting that idea for a moment, and reflect on the possibilities within
asymmetrical design. This may mean going with one lamp table by the sofa,
but adding an occasional table elsewhere in the room. Or it could mean
mixing different shapes and styles of accent chairs throughout the
space. This design approach is not only freeing, but adds a depth of
character to your overall space, as you will undoubtedly have implemented more
of your personality into your design.

As
shown in the living areas above, asymmetrical layouts can appear just as visually
arresting and pleasing as symmetrical design.
We
are always inspired by beautiful interior designs which put comfort as a
priority, especially within a living room. Living rooms after all, are
intended for living in, and your comfort level within your home plays a significant
role in your overall well-being. For this reason, a cozy, tufted occasional chair and ottoman placed next
to the patio doors to enjoy a cool, summer breeze is, we believe, a most
ingenious design choice.
With
a larger living area to work with, extra seating is always welcome. Perhaps you'd like 4-5 individual accent
chairs, or prefer a large sectional or a mixture of
sofas. What you decide upon should chiefly depend on your lifestyle –
formal or casual, or may you have little ones running around the home.
Whatever approach you decide, take into consideration how you would like to
spend your time within that space, and work your design style around it.
